Lughnasadh, the first (of three) harvest, is a pagan harvest festival celebrated on August 1st every year. Falling halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox, Lughnasadh is one of the cross-quarter days, honoring the turning of the wheel and the shift of the seasons from summer to fall.
This Sabbat also celebrates the God of light, Lugh, and marks the time of the year's first harvest of the year, and is a time for us to reap what we have sown and come together in celebration and give thanks for the abundance Mother earth is providing us with. But as the wheel turns and the light summer months are nearing their end, this Sabbat is also about the cycle of death and rebirth. As the God dies, the sun goes with him, but he will be reborn again in the spring, and the plants and new life with him 🌱🌻
HOW YOU CAN CELEBRATE
Lughnasadh is a day to be grateful for the abundance in your life, so take time to give thanks to the land, yourself, those who came before you, and those who surround you everyday. Give a special thanks to Pachamama - our Mother Earth - for giving you life, holding you, providing you with food, and letting you rest in her embrace again when the time comes.
Happy harvest festival, lovelies 💕
